David Seidholm aims to break the world record

David Cederholm is the toptracer brand sales manager in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but it is not because of his work that this Sunday can make golf history. Cederholm wants to join the Guinness Book of World Records to help his best friend's wife, who is very sick.

David's goal is to break the world record for hitting a golf ball within 24 hours. Yes, there is a record of playing golf non-stop all day long. This is a record that has not been broken in the past two decades. On June 22, 2002, in Kansas City, David Ogron pitched a staggering 10,392 golf balls in 24 hours.

I save you the trouble of picking up a calculator: this means calculating one every 8.3 seconds. Many things can be expressed in a young language. His things are almost like a robot, like a ball machine on a tennis court. Instead, two human arms and one brain have enough strength and endurance to make it a longer-lasting Guinness.

He didn't care about that record until Cederholm a few weeks ago. Maybe he, like many of us, doesn't know its existence. Then his life threw some very bad news to him. His former colleague and best friend Peter Kerr, 35, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive cancer that affects the nerve center and brain.

So far, on November 26, 2021, there is no cure for this disease. This diagnosis ruined the best moment of a man’s life, the father’s countdown: his wife Helen was actually expecting their first child. This little girl will be called Cece.

It was for Cece, Helen and Peter that the golfer decided to try a double feat. In combination with competitors, there is a more important issue: the company will financially support the Kerr family and those who study this cursed disease.

There is a fundraising event to help Helen on the Gofundme.org platform. Peter and Seth and the Lewis Moody Foundation, an institution that studies this type of brain tumor.

"I dream of charging one pound for every ball thrown," David said frankly.

"I looked around and wanted to know how to help Pete's family-Cederholm explained to the local media-I read this record in Guinness Book. I think I will try to beat him." But "Sparapalline" was not invented. David first talked with coaches and psychologists.

"They told me that this feat will consume the same number of calories as running two marathons in 24 hours. I am not afraid. I started training on the practice field, even mentally. Now I am ready, Zhou We will see how it ends".

The driving range of choice is the National Golf Center in Woodhall Springs, Lincolnshire. The first shot is set at 4pm. David knows about him: His plan is to hit 12,000 goals in 24 hours, 1,608 higher than Kansas City's record.

I turned on the calculator again: they hit 500 balls in an hour, one every 7.2 seconds. Let's be clear: every shot cannot be a "flappa" (that is, a bad shot) or a few centimeters of putt. The Guinness World Records standard stipulates that the effective distance of each shot is only more than one hundred yards, or more than ninety meters.
